If a comprehensive plan amendment is required, approval must be prior to or concurrent with <br />the granting of approval on the rezone. <br />Staff comments: The applicant has indicated a desire to incorporate retail/service into a future mixed- <br />use development. The mixed urban zone, or equivalent, may not be the most appropriate zone for this <br />parcel given the wide variety of uses that are permitted in that zone, some not appropriate for this <br />setting. A Neighborhood Business zone, or equivalent, may be more appropriate for the site. Based on <br />an initial review, a rezone to Neighborhood Business, or equivalent, with a four floor height limit, is <br />likely consistent with the above criteria in Chapter 15.03 EMC and the comprehensive plan. <br />RELATIONSHIP TO PROPOSED GROWTH ALTERNATIVES: <br />PLAN GEOGRAPHIES <br />ALT 1: CURRENT PLANS <br />EXTENDED <br />ALT 2: CONCENTRATED <br />GROWTH ALT 3: DISPERSED GROWTH <br />URBAN CORRIDORS <br />MID-RISE <br />HIGH-RISE HIGH-RISE <br />HIGH RISE <br />URBAN CORRIDOR FRAME SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED MID-RISE LOW-RISE <br />METRO EVERETT HIGH-RISE HIGH-RISE HIGH-RISE <br />METRO FRAME SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED MID-RISE LOW-RISE <br />CONNECTORS SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED SINGLE-FAMILY <br />DETACHED LOW-RISE <br />NEIGHBORHOOD <br />RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED SINGLE-FAMILY <br />DETACHED <br />NEIGHBORHOOD <br />RESIDENTIAL <br />Staff Comments: The proposed amendment is in the Connector geography and will be considered for <br />Low-Rise development (up to 4 floors) in Alternative 3. The Low-Rise designation would not necessarily <br />be zoned to allow for nonresidential uses, although the Neighborhood Business zone is an <br />implementing zone in all comprehensive plan designations. <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION/MOTION: <br />Planning staff recommendation: determine that the applicant’s requested outcome is incorporated in <br />the 2044 comprehensive plan periodic update environmental review under Alternative 3. <br /> <br />Planning commission recommendation: determine that the applicant’s requested outcome is <br />incorporated in the 2044 comprehensive plan periodic update environmental review under <br />Alternative 3. <br /> <br /> <br />NEXT STEPS
